IMHO ... nothing.
Some people feel that by nature an AWD transfer case is not built as strong as a 4WD case since slippage has to be built in. In my experience as long as the rated vehicle capacity is not exceeded, then it will be fine. Since there is slip built into the transfer case however, certain steps should be taken such as synthetic lube in the transfer case since slip=wasted energy & wasted energy=heat. Unfortunately, transfer cases do not have a pump for the fluid so an auxiliary cooler is not an option (at least not an easy one).
It's like saying that you should never, ever, ever, never, ever tow with a vehicle with a manual transmission. Pure bunk. I've done it ... & actually prefer it.
There's my $.02 ... & I expect change
